Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers regarding Jamaican divorce law, fees, and remote filing.

Professional legal fees for an uncontested divorce typically range between JMD $120,000 and $300,000 (approximately USD $1,000 to $2,000). In addition, standard disbursements include Supreme Court filing stamps (approx. JMD $5,000–$10,000), process serving fees, and courier charges if you reside overseas. Most attorneys offer staged milestone payment plans.
Yes. If you live in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or elsewhere, you do not need to fly to Kingston. Your Jamaican attorney will prepare your Petition and Affidavits, email them to you to sign in the presence of a local Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, and file them directly at the Supreme Court on your behalf.
Under the Matrimonial Causes Act (1989), Jamaica operates on a "no-fault" basis. The sole ground is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. This is proven by showing that you and your spouse have lived separate and apart for a continuous period of at least 12 months immediately preceding the filing of the petition.
Yes. The law recognizes "separation under one roof." If financial or housing constraints forced you to reside in the same residence, but you ceased living as husband and wife (separate sleeping quarters, no sexual intimacy, no sharing of meals or domestic chores), you can establish the 12-month separation by filing a supporting Affidavit of Separation Under One Roof.
An original or certified copy from the Registrar General's Department (RGD) is mandatory for court filing. Through HowJamaica Concierge, we can retrieve an official certified computerized Marriage Certificate directly from the RGD in Twickenham Park within 7 to 14 business days so your divorce petition can proceed without delay.
A Decree Nisi is a provisional order issued by the Judge stating that the court is satisfied with the grounds for divorce. Six weeks after the Decree Nisi is granted, your attorney applies for the Decree Absolute. Once the Decree Absolute is signed and sealed by the Registrar, your marriage is legally dissolved and you are legally free to remarry.
